Allison Russell – In The Hour Of Chaos

By Ocean Vuong

Music has healed human beings for as long as we have been singing. But what does it mean when an artist deliberately turns her instrument into medicinal enactment? What is discovered when joy, fulfillment, and wonder are the guiding lights of an album, when one does not repair by accident—but by deliberate artistry?

This is indeed rare, even daring, in a culture that sees artistic methods of healing and repair as merely “service” or “social work,” that believes “real” art, serious “grown-up” art, the art lauded by institutions and museums, shouldn’t concern itself with something so minor and domestic as “feeling better.” But this revisionist view of music goes against its historic reality: that music, made to heal, heals. This is true of our most ancient hymns and rhythms and chants. Why should this change now?

In this new album by Allison Russell, one of the greatest lyric storytellers of our time, redemption does not come from the voice alone—it comes through the act of controlling and re-casting our stories so that they might be embodied, shared, and celebrated by others. Not unlike the R&B, Blues, and Folk/Country traditions that she honors and expands, her songs are sonic accompaniment to life itself. This is music to live, fight, and fuck to. Songs you put on after work because you need to be beside somebody in an empty room. Songs to which you could drive to the edge of the county just to return to whatever keeps you faithful—or to floor it across state lines and start a Tracy-Chapman-fast-car new life and get “outta here.” But more importantly, these are songs you send to a friend and say, simply, call me after you hear this. An impulse that comes from the ancient desire to use music as a conductor of love between two people. Here’s what I wanted to say but couldn’t find the words for. And even if what we want to say are a litany of the most painful things, that the song makes it shareable, makes it known, like a cigarette passed from one to another in the dark, is a triumph.

Lyrics

Rainbows

Chorus:

Rainbows! Rainbows! Rainbows!

When the sun comes out and it’s raining too

Yeah Alright Yeah Alright

Do you feel the magic? Why can’t you feel it?

Magic’s only magic if you believe it

Did you sew that horn on your pony’s forehead?

Stars on the ceiling up above your bed

I can sing you words and words and words

But baby don’t trust us mockingbirds

You wanna get back when you were ten

The thunder made your hair stand up on end

Remember all the stories that you used to tell

To strangers in the park when you were scared

Old Willow tree bowed her head

Held you in her branches till you felt better

Ducks on the pond as twilight fell

Too many secrets you can’t tell

You wanna get back when you were twelve

Cicadas sang love songs in the dell

Bridge:

It’s not easy sometimes

To keep all seven colours in your mind

But you gotta try, you gotta try

Staring out the window of your grandma’s home

Lookin’ at the black clouds hanging low

You felt warm and you felt safe

Maybe you were gonna get blown away

Staring out the window of your grandma’s home

Lookin’ at the black clouds hanging low

You were warm, you were safe

Maybe you were gonna get blown away

Magic’s only magic if you believe

First you dream, then you see

Magic’s only magic if you believe

First you dream, then you be

Rainbows Rainbows Rainbows

No Springtime ft Joy Oladokun & Julie Williams

Three in the meadow and two by the lake

How many songbirds will it take?

To tell me so I still don’t get it wrong

What’s gone is gone is gone is gone

Five silhouettes on the telephone pole

One outside your bedroom window

You don’t know what you thought you knew

There’s no springtime in the blues

Pre-Chorus:

I see you going back there again

To the moment where it all went wrong

Rubberneckin’ on the highway wreck

Then you see your own body lying on the ground

Chorus:

I know you’re looping an’ you’re looping an’ you’re looping

It feels like you’re never gonna break on through

I’ll never cast that stone on you

‘Cause oh my god I do it too

Seven in the woods, four by the river

How many magpies spell forever?

Tell me so we don’t get it wrong

What’s gone is gone is gone is gone

Nine black lotuses floatin’ on the pond

Eight violets on a midnight lawn

We don’t know what we thought we knew

There’s no springtime in the blues

Cold April ft Kara Jackson, Denitia & Explore! Pop Choir

It’s one if you’re scared, Two if you’re sad

Three if you know it’s really that bad

It’s one if you’re scared, Two if you’re sad

Three if you know

3 2 1 , 1 2 3

I already know sometimes it snows in April

I heard my mother sing it way back when I was a child

Promises vanish in the dark, 88 keys and a broken heart

It couldn’t make it better but it made it feel alright

Even when you feel your whole world is crumbling

You’re still gonna try and soothe somebody else

’Cause there’s not enough bullets not enough guns

They can kill the bird but not the bird song ooooh oooh

Oh I already know sometimes to grow, you break first

I learned it from my father way back when I was child

Promises vanish in the dark, 99 ways he crushed my heart

But he couldn’t make it bitter ’cause we took back the night

Even when you feel your whole soul is crumbling

You’re still gonna try and soothe somebody else

Yeah there’s not enough bullets not enough guns

They can kill the bird but not the bird song ooooh oooh

1! 2! 3! 4! 1, 2, 3, 4!

Calling all birds from across the Nation

Yeah, we got a brand-new murmuration

We don’t gotta fly in your old formation, no!

Calling all birds from across the Nation

Yeah, we got a brand-new murmuration

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

I already know sometimes it snows in April

I heard my mother sing it way back when I was a child

Black Lavender ft Brittney Spencer

What’s it gonna take to bring your heart rate down?

What’s it gonna take to soothe your mind?

They could never see you – not the way I do

Palo Santo incense, lavender tea and kindness

Chorus:

Hey Black Swan what went wrong?

Yeah you got your fight or flight turned on

You don’t know how beautiful you are

Rivers of adrenaline, you just need an ocean

To run into, to comfort you

Just let me get my arms around you

What’s it gonna take to help you sleep at night?

What’s it gonna take to still your cryin’?

They could never hear you, not the way I do

Tell it on the mountain, Lil Mama sing that song again

Bridge:

Incomparable, Incomparable

Slings & arrows, slings & arrows

They can’t touch you, no no

Incomparable, Incomparable

Slings & arrows, slide off the tip of your mind

Black swan, fly!

Really Real ft Norah Jones

Well you’ve seen me in my power,

And you’ve seen me black & blue

You been there the whole ride

Been through all the lows & highs

And you never spoke nothin’ but the truth

But when the truth was sooo cold

You held it by the firelight for me

Let me sleep easy till the morning

Chorus:

Where’s your way-back-true-fact-really-real-one?

Who’s gonna be your shelter from the storm?

Don’t forget one day they gonna need some

They gonna need a little shelter of their own

Well I don’t know how to pray love

So I write these songs for you

I’ve been driving while you sleep

You put all that weight on me

And you never see my indigo mood

But when my eyes grow sooo tired

Will you take the wheel away from me

Let me sleep easy till the morning?

Just Like Saturday ft Ruby Amanfu

Hey, alright

We thought it would look better in

The morning light

Ooo don’t say

You don’t have imagination left

To see it some other way

I can’t build a dream again

You used to pick the pieces up

And keep ‘em till we needed them

Ooo I kept them with mine

But the rain got in and spoiled the wood

Now nothing ever feels any good

Chorus:

Who can make a Saturday (Who can make a Saturday)

Feel Like a Saturday (Feel Like a Saturday)

Everything in front of us (Everything in front of us)

That’s right! (That’s right!) Ok! (Ok!)

Now it’s always Sunday (Now it’s always Sunday)

All the other six days (All the other six days)

Like six white horses pullin’ somethin’ beautiful

Six white horses pullin’ somethin’ beautiful away

We can build a dream again

If you look down through the mountain stream

For one stone glistening

Ooo I’ll find one stone too

We can lay a new foundation down

If you shelter me I will shelter you

Chaos Theory ft Kyshona& Sara Watkins

You should’ve called me

You should’ve called me baby late last night

I was feeling everything turning

Like maybe everything was fine

I had light coming out of my fingers

I had light coming out of my eyes

I could’ve wrapped you in my colors

I would’ve given you some of mine

Pre-Chorus:

I wanna see you baby all the time

You don’t have to get lost in your mind

You spent enough time at the dark end of the street

I wanna feel you breathing next to me

We can watch something stupid on tv

Fingernails on your back up and down, up and down

Softly Softly

Chorus:

In the Hour of Chaos, in the Hour of Despair

You’re gonna feel my love coming down

You’re gonna feel my hands in your hair

Well tomorrow doesn’t know about us

Eh, yesterday doesn’t care …

I’m a set you right-in the middle of the night

An’ we can start all over from there

Bridge:

Miss Mary Mac Miss Mary Mac Miss Mary Mac

All dressed in black all dressed in black all dressed in black

Come back, come back, come back come back come back come back

You climb so high up in the sky

Don’t wanna lose you, come back to us

Come back to us, Mary choose us

I wanna hold you

I wanna hold you when your shoulders shake

Wanna soothe you

I wanna spoon you

When you hide the tracks of tears on your face

No, you’re not a clown love, only human like the rest of us

You’re just Mud’n’Lightning, Seafoam’n’Sunshine

Stardust

Love Is a Golden Lion ft Devon Gilfillian

Oh I know that you see me struggling

But don’t let go of the dream you held us in

I see myself from a bird’s eye

Driftwood on the tide, I’m lost

But then I see it’s you who’s stumbling

And all my strength comes roaring back to me

God help the fool who’d try to hurt you

Chorus:

My love (my love) won’t run (won’t)

My love (my love) won’t turn around

My love (my love) is a soft rain (is a soft rain)

My love (my love) is a golden lion

My love is yours for all times

Oh you know that I see you trembling

No I won’t let go of the dream I held us in

I hear your tears like morning chimes

Callin’ in the light, you’re found

But then you see it’s me who’s stumbling

And all your strength come roaring back and then

God help the fool who’d try to hurt me

But then, I see it’s you who’s stumbling

And all my strength comes roaring back to me

God help the fool who’d try to hurt you

Searchlight ft Kashus Culpepper

Living like a refugee

Running from my own mind

All those buildings burning in the night

Maybe some things they need to burn for anything new to grow

Will there be any me left to go back to?

That’s what I wanna know, oooh oooh

Chorus:

Let me feel your kindness, yeah

But you can tell me truly

Baby how far gone am I now?

Don’t let me off the hook

But maybe tell me it’s not so bad

Not as bad as it looks

Tell me that I’m worth fighting for

Been swept up in the tide

Tell me that you’ll be on the shore

Tell me that you got a searchlight babe

Ooo oooh

Lately I’m more lonely

When you’re home than when you’re gone

Text you from the next room in the night

Babe you know I love I love your imagination

But I wish that you could come back babe

From the dark side of the moon, oooh oooh

If you’ll be my searchlight baby

I will be your comeback kid

If you’ll be my searchlight baby

On and on and on and on…

Two Stars ft Chibueze Ihuoma

Lately it’s so hard to breathe

Feels like the end of everything

I been hidin’ out in the back of my mind

I’d meet you if I knew the way

I might make it out some day

I wonder if I really even wanna see the light

Chorus:

Don’t let yourself sink too deep

I got a place where I keep

All the reasons you forgot for living

The world is getting hotter babe

( The world is getting hotter babe)

Nothing’s getting better babe

(nothing’s getting better babe)

Look me in the eyes

C’mon keep it steady

You can feel it when I tell you, when I tell you

Don’t run away

I’ll never ever ever let you down

But there’s no time to fuck around

I can feel the shake in all the foundations

Can you feel my eyes are burning bright?

You can find me in the night

We’re the first two stars in a brand–new constellation

Save me every time you sing

Lullabies for the despairing

Call the ghost of hope up high, out the grave

Lift me now and break your fall

I love you better than myself

There’s power in our blending, we become the light

I wanna Tessellate

Be a Freedom Song

Three or more, all or none

Touch the hem of everything

Surrender

To Infinity

Good Omens ft Ahya Simone

Black butterfly flew cross my shadow

Big as a sparrow, gossamer graceful

We walked a white dog, through a greenwood

Sun on my brown skin, light on your freckles

Then came a soft wind, tousled your red curls

Tossed all the branches and all the leaves shook

In a black wing instant, something just shifted

Something just shifted, our spirits lifted

Something was different, something was woken

Aaah…

Chorus:

Good Omens, Good Omens Everywhere

Good Omens, Good Omens in the Air

Good Omens, Good Omens Everywhere

Good Omens, Good Omens in the Air

We can linger, we can linger in these Woods for a while

Let our colours, let our colours run wild

Barefoot to damp dirt, sweat dark t-shirts

Hands entwined, hearts and minds

Hearts and minds, hands entwined

Good Omens, Good Omens Everywhere

Good Omens, Good Omens in the Air

Good Omens, Good Omens Everywhere

Good Omens, Good Omens in the Air
